Later, Kyle, Shawn, James, Sarah, Cassandra, Caleb, Rocky, Rachel, Margaret, Chris, Kayla, Alicia, Peter John, and Samantha are playing a game of cards.

Samantha: Uh, we haven't had a card since the welcome party.

Chris: Regardless, we definitely this. This enough players?

Rocky: Of course, it is, bro. I mean, if you wanna go ask Chloe to play, I don't mind waiting.

Chris: Dude, shut up! I swear to fucking God!

Samantha: Wait, you've got a crush on Chloe, Chris?

Chris: Uh....I mean, I find her charming and outgoing.

Kyle: That's definitely the words for "I have a crush on Chloe".

The survivors laugh.

Chris: Oh, god....

John: Don't worry, bro. Your secret's safe with us.

Rachel: Hey, what are we playing?

Peter: Truth or Dare!

Peter shuffles the cards.

Cassandra: You don't use cards in Truth or Dare, Peter.

Peter: You do in my version. Everyone draws. Highest card gets to ask. Lowest card has to answer.

Everyone takes a card and passes the deck around until everyone got a card. Kyle sees he has the lowest card and Samantha has the highest.

Samantha: This should be good. Let's see. Truth. Marry-Fuck-Kill. One of my people.

Kyle: Oh, god....

Sarah: Uh, is this appropriate to ask in front of me?

John: It's just a game, Sarah.

Samantha: Yeah, plus, I'll make it dudes so it's easy; Peter, John or....Sylvester.

Alicia: Bleh! Sylvester?! He's like eighty years old!

Kyle scoffs.

Kyle: Jesus Christ....

Shawn: Dude, you gotta answer. That's the rules. Your gayness is about to show.

Kyle sticks his middle finger up to Shawn.

Kyle: I would marry...Peter.

Peter looks a little uncomfortable.

Peter: Uh, I...uh...Thanks?

James: I don't think you're his type, Kyle. If you hadn't noticed, he's into blondes.

Peter: Hey!

Shawn: Kayla's a blonde!

Shawn quickly covers his mouth as James jerks his head back and forth.

James: No way!

Rocky: I fucking knew it! I knew you two had the hots for each other! I can just sense the boner in your pants growing every time you look at her.

Margaret: Rocky!

Margaret laughs a little as Shawn glares at Rocky.

Shawn: Dude, what's your fucking problem?

Rocky: Sorry...it's just...it was kinda obvious.

Kayla laughs in embarrassment, but then blushes at Shawn.

Kyle: Anyway...I would, uh....Fuck...

Rachel: Oh, boy....hear it comes...

Kyle: John.
